It’ll ask if you want to save your History and bookmarks

Tell me, is this actually going to be my absolute worst week of the year, or am I just being optimistic... ☕

Honestly, I don't give a damn about my History. It's the bookmarks I actually care about, because if I lose those, I'll be stuck re-typing every single damn URL manually.

Peter Thompson4 said:Mozilla is working fine for me, but Chrome is basically a total zero right now. Does this mean I actually have to reinstall Chrome? And more importantly, am I gonna lose all my bookmarks if I do that? (Also, wait, do I need to wipe Chrome completely before I try installing it again, or is there some other way to handle this?)

Just uninstall it and start over—as for the bookmarks, I have no clue since I don't even use them. 😁

All the prime slots have already been snatched up... absolutely nothing left to grab. I guess we’re just stuck standing out front, waiting around for someone to flake so we can catch a cancellation...

I once knew a group that booked everything just for the hell of it and then completely ghosted...

Lawyers, I suppose—that’s their idea of a good time.

There should be a way to export bookmarks and then just import them later. I don't use Google Chrome, so I can't say for sure, but it's usually possible.

GIYF

Movie of the Year. Seriously, just non-stop, over-the-top action from the opening credits to the very end. Miller is absolute legend. 🙏 🙏

We're all locked in...

I can't speak to Google Chrome, but Firefox has online sync. It’s useful for keeping history and bookmarks synced across multiple devices, plus you don't have to worry about losing them if a system fails.

And I haven't touched this thing in, what, a decade? Maybe more...

Since we’re already geeking out over computers, here are a few handy pro-tips that even the seasoned pros might find useful.

Thanks for the PC tips, but let me give you guys some actual advice right now: Mad Max is an absolute must-watch!!!!
My god, what a movie, that soundtrack is freaking insane. The whole thing is just pure cinema!!!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Insane 🙏

You pull the battery out of your laptop, and then when the damn thing finally dies on you, you just yank the power cord straight out of the wall... don't be such a reckless idiot, for crying out loud...

I mean, have you ever actually tried using a toothpick in a splitter?

That’s just way too overcomplicated

Man, I haven't! Honestly, I'm a little too terrified that if I shove something wet in there, I'll get a massive zap from the outlet.🤔

I think it needs to be thoroughly chewed on from both sides; that's the only way it'll work.

I tried nuking Google Chrome and reinstalling the whole thing, but still absolutely nothing works 😁
Thanks for the help, but I guess I’m gonna have to go bug the guys over in IT and see if they can actually fix this mess.

Just give it a good hit instead. 🤷
